Stats: Best books and where to stop.

Data science folks,
I don't get to use stats on a day to day basis. Consequently, feel like I am loosing/lost grip on it.
I am looking for recommendations to rekindle with stats and get my hands dirty.

P.S: I struggle with starting things off. Specially if it's just a lot of reading. I would be more than happy to grab a pen & paper and solve problems. R or Python is just fine too.

Final goal of this exercise would be start using stats more often in my day to day job. Alternatively, also be interview ready 'if' there are lay offs due to covid.

Something I recently pen and papered:
Had some results from a Monte Carlo simulation ran(in python) to estimate number of covid cases. Split the data by country, used chi squared test of homogeneity (on paper) to figure out if there statistically significant variance in # of infected, recovered and healthy people.
